Why should I not eat / drink after sunset ???
Do you
know that Laxmanji, while bidding
good-bye to his wife, Vanmala (on his
way to Vanvaas), assured her that he
would never forget her by giving a commitment that if he forgets her then he would
be doing PAAP EQUIVALENT TO KILLING A PERSON.
However, Vanmala only got comfort when Laxmanji took the vow that if he forgets her, then he would be doing PAAP EQUIVALENT TO EATING AT NIGHT.
The above incidence of Ramayan clearly establishes that EATING AFTER SUNSET.....is a BIG PAAP......EVEN BIGGER THAN KILLING A PERSON.
However, Vanmala only got comfort when Laxmanji took the vow that if he forgets her, then he would be doing PAAP EQUIVALENT TO EATING AT NIGHT.
The above incidence of Ramayan clearly establishes that EATING AFTER SUNSET.....is a BIG PAAP......EVEN BIGGER THAN KILLING A PERSON.
Despite knowing that eating / drinking after sunset is a BIG Paap, it has become a common feature for most of us that sadly, today WE ALL are not bothered about WHAT WE EAT & WHEN WE EAT...
You may think that eating / drinking before sunset is very difficult FOR ME.... But Hopefully with Prabhu Krupa and after understanding the severe consequences of eating / drinking after sunset, you will definitely be able to quit this. SO PLEASE READ THIS EMAIL CAREFULLY!!!
Apart from Jainism, even science and various other religions propagate the message of “EAT / DRINK BEFORE SUNSET”. See attached fliers.
Some glimpses of reasons for eating / drinking before sunset are mentioned below:
SCIENTIFIC REASONS - TAKING CARE OF OUR HEALTH IN THIS LOK
- The food stuff consumed
during night hours (i.e. in the absence of solar energy), creates digestive
problem, stomach disorders, several diseases and laziness
- Number of invisible insects
increases many fold after the sunset which affects and spoil food
- Medical opinions do not support
eating after sunset. Eating before sunset can help in curing many diseases
RELIGIOUS REASONS - TAKING CARE OF OUR ATMA IN PARLOK
- Eating after sunset is a
“National highway to Narak” - Sage Markandey says in Markand Puran
- Not only eating / drinking
after sunset is Paap, but even eating
in darkroom during the day time and eating in narrow mouthful vessels is a Paap
- Likely rebirth as owl, crow,
cat, vulture, antelop, pig, snake, scorpion for those having food after sunset
Now that you have know several negative consequences of eating / drinking
after sunset both from our health and also from parlok perspective, please make one principle “I WILL ALWAYS EAT /
DRINK BEFORE SUNSET”

Beautiful History of Antrikshji Tirth revealed
Do
you know that as on date, which are the three most Prachin (old) Jin Murtis ?
First
- Shri Neminath Dada – Girnar
Second
- Shri Shankeshwar Parshvnath - Shankeshwar
Third
- Shri Antriksh Parshvnath - Shirpur
We
would all know many things about Girnar and surely about Shankeshwar....The
Story of Shri Antrikshji Parshvanath is very interesting (see the attached file
– Story with Colourful pictures).
Key
Highlights of this Tirth
-
The 42 inch Shri Antriksh Parshvanath Murti is 11,80,000 years old
-
Murti was made out of Clay and Cow dung during the time of Bhagvan
Munisuratswami
-
Murti Staphana was done by Dev’s from Devlok and not by any human
-
Murti is not touching the floor (it is in air without any support) and a cloth
can pass below it
-
The Tirth / Murti get referred in “Sakal Tirth Vandana” Sutra (spoken every day
during morning pratikaman)...This reflects its importance.
It
is impossible to narrate the mahima of Param Pavan, Pragat Prabhavi, Atyant
Prachin, historical Shri Antrikshji Parshvanath prabhu.
In
spite of all this, like everything has its highs and low, presently the Tirth
is passing through its low :-(..... This is evident from the fact that not too
many people know about this historical Tirth.
However,
the times are changing.... There are increasing numbers of people visiting the
Tirth.... This email is aimed at making more and more people aware about this
Prabhavak and Prachin Tirth.
This
Tirth is located in Shirpur....Close to Akola.... Map is attached.
Hope
Shri Antriksh Parshvanath Bhagwan's Darshan brings lot of fortune in your life
(as Prabhu does to all).
If
possible, please please pass this on to as many as possible and try coming down
to this Tirth with family, friends, Mandal, Sangh...............If you have the
capacity, get a Sangh along with you and Dada
will surely bless you.................as they say..............

JAIN FOOD - READY RECKONER – A Must Read for ALL

You may be surprised to read the above line.....but if we sincerely think we would understand how unknowingly, we become Nimit in killing ASANKHYA JEEVS...
To save ourselves from this, please see the attached “JAIN FOOD - READY RECKONER" which in a very short but remarkable explanation of SCIENTIFIC EATING PATTERN suggested by Prabhu which as we know, not only TAKES CARE OF OUR HEALTH IN THIS LOK but also IS HEETKAR FOR OUR PARLOK.
One may think that following this lifestyle is very difficult....and thus may avoid reading attached document..... But there are thousands of people like you (in India and also outside India) who live their life as directed by Prabhu..... Hopefully with Prabhu Krupa, you will definitely be able to follow it. SO THE REQUEST IS – PLEASE DO READ IT ONCE.
If you find this useful, please forward this to others and thereby be instrumental in giving someone a gift of healthy and ahinsa purna life. You may want to take a print of the attached documents to share the same with your family.

July 2 is Chaumasi Chaudas.
Chomasuis the season when we can - Not only do MAXIMUM “AARADHNAS”,but it is also possible for us to do MAXIMUM “VIRADHNAS”.
So we thought to inform you of few Small Aaradhnas, that you may consider worth doing duringChomasu and also apprise you about few SmallViradhnas which you should definitely stay away from.
Aaradhnas
- Use Boiled water – Also good for health
- Tie Garna at taps in Kitchen and Bathroom and at water outlets
- Go regularly for Pravachans – (If not then at least on Saturday / Sundays)
- Do Pooja / Samayik / Pratikaman (morning and evening) - Daily / if not then on Sundays or during Paryushan / and lastly definitely on Samvatsari day
- Do Swadhyay (reading of Dharmicbooks, Jain story books), Navkarvali, Japs
- Listen to Stutis / Stavans / DharmicSongs
- Do Tap - Aayambil / Ekasana whenever you can - Say on Tithis (Pachan, Aathum & Chaudas)… - Atleast Navkarsi/ Chovihar
Viradhana
Viradhana
- Avoid UNNECESSARY travelling
- Put white paint in your building (For details see our earlier email - PRE-MONSOON – MUST.. MUST..)..
- Avoid Kand mud (which is not be eaten in any case by us l) but definitely during chomasa or at least for until Paryushan
- Avoid taking together cereals like Moong, Tuar, Adad with raw milk, curd, lassi, shrikhand or other milk items(VIDAD) (For details see our earlier email - JAIN FOOD - READY RECKONER - Pages 10-11)
- Avoid leafy vegetables (like methi, coriander leaves, cauliflower etc) / Kobi – Atleast on Tithis (Pachan, Aathum & Chaudas)
- Avoid Dryfruits / Honey / Butter / all kind of Abhakshyas viz. Ice-cream, Chocolates, Biscuits, Cakes, Cold-drinks, etc. / outside food
The above are just very few things that could be thought of, many more things which will just add on to your Punya.
Further, different food items have different kaal (expiry date) after which one cannot eat it. For details see our earlier email - JAIN FOOD -READY RECKONER – Pages 3-9.
So finally, just in case for some reason, it is not possible for you to do Aaradhnas, please please please atleast stay away from all the Viradhanas.
HappyAaradhmay & Viradhana Rahit Chomasu:-)))
Please pass on this to your family and friends.

Wherever
water gets blocked.... LEEL (Nigodh) starts developing.
One should neither walk on this nor should clean this as every micro small part of Leel (Nigodh) has infinite body in it and each body again has infinite living organisms (Jeevs) in it.
The number of Jeevs that are in a micro small part of Leel (Nigodh) are MANY TIMES MORE THAN:
SUCH A HUGE NUMBER OF JEEVS EVEN IN A MIRCO SMALL PART....... CAN U EVEN BELIEVE IT??????
During rains, LEEL start getting formed in building /office compounds, terrace, walls...
To avoid this you can put THICK WHITE / YELLOW COLOUR PAINT or Dambar BEFORE RAINS STARTS.
This single deed of yours will also help Sadhu and Sadhviji Bhagwants and all other people from waking on Leel (Nigodh) which would save ASANKHYA JEEVs.
So please ACT FAST ... Please PUT "THICK WHITE/YELLOW COLOUR PAINT OR DAMBAR" in your buildings and offices and help people save, by not walking on Leel.......Before Rains Starts
Please spread this message to your family, friends, relatives, colleagues....
